The Steel Arrives

The steel pieces to build the frame of our building started arriving on campus today. 

The Builder will start fastening the beams into the floor soon, and then will bring in a crane to start placing the ceiling joists - perhaps before Christmas break.   They aren't sure what days their crew is taking off for Christmas, but there should be a lot of progress by the time school resumes in January.  While much of the building steel is in the field near the building, some of the joists are actually on the concrete pad we just poured. 




Here's a forklift with a handy extending arm (and more importantly with our mud, handy tractor wheels) moving some of the steel onto the pad.
